My parents pop into staples yesterday and picked these up in the offer. I thought that they were a gimmick but, they work exactly as described - An excellent alternative to drawing pins. This deal doesn't appear to be available online.

If the ones in Tesco work then that's a great price! My Father has hung up 5 Mtrs of lights with these things and they worked brillianty. :thumbsup:

It may be also worth noting that he tested a couple on his newly decorated walls first and they didn't leave a blemish.

Saw something similar in Tesco for 99p

Which section did you see them in please? Were they with the christmas stuff? (Trying to save myself some time looking around in store as it's huge).

Bought some today from Staples, after trying 2 branches of B&Q, who had every other 3M Command product except the ones for xmas lights.

The guy in Staples said the product had been very popular in the last 24 hours - and they didn't have many left. He had to look for more stock packed away in boxes to get the quantity I wanted.

I also got the water resistant ones for outside, which weren't on 3 for 2, but I needed to buy something to hang my outside lights. I am so glad you posted this because I had never heard of them before.
